Bree CondonSurprise, surprise. Not every online dating profile is legitimate, but this story that broke recently in the LA Times is more than a little different.  Recently, an imposter on the dating site www.seekingamillionaire.com  going by the name of “Bree” was caught by authorities for the crime of cheating several men out of their money and for the more serious crime of “identity theft”.

The “fake Bree” created a profile as a model seeking out multiple millionaires on www.seekingmillionaire.com Unfortuantely for the men, the “Bree” who made her profile available on the strange dating site is not actually an 23-year-old aspiring model who has posed for Guess.

Jennifer Hawkins in Marie ClaireMarie Claire is being bold by putting a Miss Universe on the cover of their magazine without first being photoshopped. That’s right- no photoshopping for the woman who was in 2004 deemed so beautiful that she won the title indicating the most beautiful woman in the world.

The former Miss Universe is named Jennifer Hawkins and the magazine is supposedly putting her on the cover to indicate that real women are indeed beautiful. The move was  probably also in reaction to some of the recent photoshopping scandals in which women were trimmed to microscopic proportions.

The proceeds from that issue will be donated to the Butterfly Foundation, which is an eating disorders support group.

Sized 2I am a big fan of the trend of giving magazine (and possibly runway) space to plus-sized models who actually might give a realistic impression of what a woman would actually look like in a particular item of clothing. The most notable cases are the spread in Vogue with the plus-sized models and the new spread with Crystal Renn at a healthy sized 12 and her sized 2 counterpart. All I have to say is, “You go girls!”Sized 12

Hot or not?Ralph Lauren's ad of this woman sparked controversy at the end of September when it had a sneak-preview on Boing-Boing. Gee, I wonder why. As Paul Constant of The Stranger commented, "This person does not even look human."

Carla Bruni Looking Hot with Her GuitarMichelle Obama may definitely have it going on when it comes to fashion, but Carla Bruni, aka Mrs. Sarkosky, is no slouch in eyes of the world when it comes to looking your best. In addition to her fashion career, the former fashion model has had a successful music career- I haven't heard her, so I can't vouch how much of her success was based on her top-notch looks.

This picture is a personal favorite of mine because I think it's always important for a musician's guitar to match her boots.

She is also rumored to have signed a contract to be in a Woody Allen film. The rumor is unconfirmed as of yet, so don't get too excited, but it definitely does add to her mystique.
